About These Birds
Black-capped Pygmy-tyrant
The Black-capped Pygmy-tyrant is one of the world's smallest passerines, a tiny tyrant flycatcher of Central and South American humid forests, with a conspicuous black cap, olive-green upperparts, and yellowish underparts. It inhabits the mid-story and canopy of lowland and foothill tropical forests from Costa Rica to Bolivia and Brazil. It feeds on tiny insects, gleaning them from fine foliage.
Bay-ringed Tyrannulet
The Bay-ringed Tyrannulet is a small flycatcher of the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina. It has a brownish-olive plumage with faint wing bars and a subtle eye ring. It forages actively in forest canopy and edges, gleaning insects from foliage.
